Can anyone suggest a good place to go to for dress alterations?

    Randex Cleaners on 6th Ave and 5th St. Mrs. Han is The Best.

    I've used her and I don't think she's that good. OK, but not wonderful...I wouldn't give her anything too fancy. I love woman at the dry cleaners on 7th Ave off between 8th & 9th Sts

    i used agnes tailor shop on prospect park w around 16th street. pretty decent in quality & price, i went there for a bridesmaid dress. i ended up spending less than all of the girls.

    I second Agnes tailor shop. Also brought a bridesmaid dress there and she did a great job.

    I also took a bridesmaid dress to Agnes. She did a great job, but it was pricey, imo ($85). More than just hemming but the hemming cost a lot--she charged by the layer and there were three layers of fabric, straight hem (only the top showed and needed to be neat.)

    The job was fantastic, though so maybe I just don't know what these things cost.

    So I went to Agnes and she was fantastic! Thanks for the recommendation..it seems that there's only one good seamstress in park slope for dresses!

    I've had her do more things (hems, remove pockets, and the like) and been very pleased with her work and prices. Last time I went, which was a couple of months, she had just moved a few blocks away:
